Officials at Texas’ South most College and Pan American Uni- versity-Edinburg are saying the bad economy is bringing the un employed back to school and keeping students who normally would transfer to other schools in the Valley. At least, that’s how they’re explaining unofficial increases of six to nine percent over spring 1982 enrollments. One of the reasons is the eco nomy, Juliet Garcia, TSC dean of arts and sciences, said. With few jobs available, the only op tion is education, she said. Enrollment figures won’t be official until next week, but col lege and university officials are happy about the current figures. At Texas Southmost, 4,285 students have enrolled. That is a six percent increase over enroll ment in spring 1982, Registrar Edson Johnson said . At Pan American in Edin burg, 9,104 students have enrol led, a nine percent increase over spring 1982. “(Enrollment has risen) be cause of the student who is not able to be away from home,” David Zuniga, director of admis sions at PAU-E, said. “Now those students who transferred to other institutions are now in the local schools until they see what the economic situation will be.” Pan American University- Brownsville also is reporting a 6.9 percent increase over spring 1982. But admissions dean Vi vian Fermenter says the univer sity hasn’t had an opportunity to analyze its figures. College officials have another reason for hoping these figures do not change. This is a count ing year, which means that the state will base funding on enroll ment from the past year. If en rollment from this counting year, which began June 1982, shows a substantial increase over the 1981 counting year, state funding should rise. College and university offi cials also attributed,the enroll ment increase to the quality of programs offered at each insti tution. TSC’s Dr. Garcia said en rollment in new programs, such as Weekend College and the Honors Program, is much high er than expected. “Forty enrolled in the Honors Program,” she said. “It’s amaz ing. We had prayed for 15.” * * H- * * * * * * * * * * Helping your fellow man that’s what * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JTHE BIG EVENTJ * * is all about i Sunday is Smash The Trash Night 500 Bar Drinks All Night Lipstik & Hastings rate newly released music.
